Mona is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving
Mona and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇪🇬 Egypt1,446 views
Last December I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $360
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

good luck, Mona. Looking forward to the next update.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mona?
Thank you. If you're in Cairo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Good luck, Mona. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 7 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Mona. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Fortaleza this morning. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
